He plead guilty? According to the Koran, he's innocent. Al-Shabnan's arrest came after police alleged he
covered up an incident in which a 5-year-old girl attending the school
reported that she was being sexually abused by her father.
According to court papers, Al-Shabnan, 52, of McLean, told police that
he didn't believe the girl, and advised the girl's parents to put her
into counseling. But state law requires school authorities to
report alleged child abuse within 72 hours of learning of the
allegation.

This director of this school curriculum included 12th-grade text on Quranic
interpretation that taught students that it is permissible for Muslims to
kill adulterers and converts from Islam, according to the investigation
by the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, a panel
created by Congress that monitors religious freedom rights around the
world.

Aformer school valedictorian, Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was convicted of
joining al-Qaida after leaving the school and plotting to assassinate
President Bush.

The director of a Saudi-funded Islamic school in northern Virginia
accused of promoting religious hatred has pleaded guilty to failing to
report suspected child abuse.

Abdalla Al-Shabnan, director of the Islamic Saudi Academy, was fined
$500 after pleading guilty to a single misdemeanor count alleging that
he failed to inform authorities about suspected sexual abuse of a
5-year-old girl who attended the school.

Prosecutors dropped an obstruction of justice charge.

A federal commission reported last month that the school's textbooks
promote intolerance and teach that it is permissible for Muslims to
kill adulterers and those who convert from Islam.
